The Watch Tower can't be from the Lord (Blessings have no added sorrow)

I'm not usually posting scripture but I liked this one and don't remember the Witness group teaching me this one. Dave Ramsey used it today.

"The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich,
and he addeth no sorrow with it."?Proverbs 10:22

Now if you try to apply the verse that way, then it would imply contradictions in the cases with Job, Stephen, Paul, and many more. Nobody gets the sweet without getting a little of the bitter.

That scripture appears to be talking about material wealth and not of the same sort of ideology of the new testament . Jesus said he was for the poor and the worlds rejects and not for greedy selfish people . I've noticed it's not just the WTBTS that uses old testament scripture to support some dogma . Most religions do it when convenient.
